Hoochery & More...

Today we had a leisurely coffee and muffin at Boab Tree Café and did a trip out to the Ord River produce store. I have to say its sad there isn’t a single organic producer up here at all. They pay just $3/mega litre (1,000,000 litres!) so I guess no one really cares about trying to do it efficiently, as they just see the as good as free water, but then again, the cost of chemicals and phosphates are now reaching the price of gold, so maybe someone might start looking at organic production up here soon!

We also visited the Hoochery. It’s the oldest running legal distillery in WA – opened in 2000. Amazing, as there are just heaps of them now in the Swan Valley, but these guys were first. He’s an old American guy who likes his rum. Thankfully it doesn’t taste a bit like the sickly sweet Bundaburg Rum. Its actually tastes quite like scotch more than rum.
